OverviewThis book presents up-to-date empirical research on crucial questions of political socialisation. It suggests new approaches and answers to a classic but still valid question of political socialisation research: 'Who learns what from whom under what circumstances with what effects?' (Greenstein 1965: 13). The volume maintains that political socialisation is no universal or independent phenomenon, but one significantly shaped by the surrounding parameters of the society in which it is embedded. Therefore, deficits in political socialisation research have become especially clear in light of political and societal changes over recent decades. The book contributes to two important discussions in the study of political socialisation: first, the question of the (relative) importance of socialisation agents and contexts, second - inextricably interwoven with the first - the timing of political socialisation. From a European perspective, articles in the volume shed light on old problems and topics of the field, using new methodological approaches or dealing with long-neglected perspectives such as young children's democratic learning or political socialisation. Includes quantitative approaches as well as innovative and explorative case studies.

Abendschon's refreshing new contribution to this field offers traditional perspectives alongside new data, new research designs, and new methodological approaches. The book covers socialisation in the family and the school, and tackles robustly important questions such as the importance of sources of political influence, and the role of electronic media.' Professor Trond Solhaug Norwegian University for Science and Technology, Trondheim 'A collection of highly topical and well elaborated pieces of research in the important area of political socialisation and education. The editor has succeeded in composing a volume with a truly international feel. Most valuably, the book gives an overview of new research methods applied in different contexts and countries, and for children of various ages. This is a must-read for experts in political socialisation and education, but recommended equally to all professionals interested in education processes.'
